What Our Experts Think
-
The Taco 0014-F1-1IFC Circulator Pump is a high-capacity, cast iron pump built for larger hydronic heating and cooling systems.
-
With a 1/8 HP motor and Integral Flow Check (IFC), it delivers reliable performance while preventing unwanted gravity circulation and backflow.
-
Ideal for high-flow, medium-head applications, such as large radiant heating zones, baseboard systems, or fan coil units.
-
Its robust cast iron construction ensures long-lasting durability in closed-loop systems.
Q&A
Q: What is the flow capacity of this circulator pump?
A: It’s designed for high-flow, medium-head hydronic applications, making it suitable for large heating or cooling loops.
Q: What does the IFC feature do?
A: The Integral Flow Check stops gravity circulation and backflow when the pump is off, increasing system efficiency.
Q: Can this pump be used for potable water?
A: No, this cast iron model is intended for closed-loop hydronic systems only, not for domestic (drinking) water.
Q: What are the connection types and sizes?
A: It uses flanged connections, compatible with standard hydronic system fittings.
Maintenance Tips
-
Keep the system clean — flush before installation to prevent debris from damaging the impeller.
-
Do not run dry — always ensure the pump is filled with water before operation.
-
Check gaskets and flanges periodically for leaks.
-
If unusual noise occurs, bleed air from the system to restore smooth performance
